He Loved Justice.
Zola, Maltro Laborl and others,
who championed tho causo of Droy
fus, did bo without having to mako
such sacrifices as fell to Mario'
Georges Plcquart. This man stands
apart from all others in the charac
ter ot tho circumstances that sur
rounded his action. Ho only knew
Dreyfus slightly and disliked him.
His and Dreyfus' ways in llfo lay
far apart. Plcquart had honor, sta
tion, reputation, ambition, a follow
ing, all of which he threw away for
tho prlrllego ot defending the
wrotched and ruined prey of French
bureaucracy, but more, for the priv
ilege of fighting for abstract right.
For Plcquart loved Justice. Ho
could not refrain from doing what
he did, oven though at tho cost of all
that most men hold dear.
Ho won, of course. Courage, hero
ism, a bcdso of JubUco llko that
novor loses. And winning, he roso
higher in tho world's estimation than
ho over could havo risen by yielding
to tho importunate pleadings of
friends afraid to fight for such a
causo, too llttlo to shako off, as this
man did, sordid ambition, race preju
dice and tho stern consciousness of
duty.
Thoro is no higher typo of man
hood than that represented In tho
life that went out during tho week
in France, at whoso tomb tho world;
uncovored bows. Had Dreyfus been
his friend, had ho ever been of his
ensto, Plcqunrt's part would not pos
sess tho dynamic charm it does. H
was not his friend, nor of his caste.
Ho was only a human and, as Plc
quart believed and tho world now
knows, a deeply wronfeod man, the
victim of ono of the inpst merclloss
Intrigues over porpotrated, but that
was enough to tiro such a soul as
Plcquart's. Now, Bomeono will wish
to erect a monument to Plcquart's
famo, but what monument could
reach as near to heaven as that be
erected In this noblo, heroic, solf-sacrltlco?

Education for Farmers.
A Lincoln papor that Is ardently
seeking support for tho plan of keep
ing divided tho schools ot the Uni
versity of Nebraska, ubcs for an ar
gument tho statement that very tow
graduates of tho university go back
to tho farm, while practically all tho
boys and girls who take the short
courso at tho school ot agriculture
do roturn to agricultural pursuits.
Reasoning from this standpoint, tho
Lincoln paper concludes it is wise
and prudent to continue the condl
tlon that prevents the farmer boyu
and girls from taking tho full col
lege courso In connection with tho
Bpeclal training provided in the
purely technical school, tho promise
being that tho higher education un
fits tho student for farm llfo.
That such bosh should be put
forth seriously is' Indicative ot tho
desperation ot tho opponents of tho
plan for campus consolidation. The
numoso is to arrango matters so
that Btudents at tho state farm can
also havo tho advantage of special
coursos in other studies than thoso
moroly nortalnlnn to agriculture.
Suroly, no enlightened champion tf
tho university will insist that its use
fulness is lessoned or its purposes
dofeated by making Us advantages
ot avail to all the boys and girls ot
tho state.
The Tripartite Law.
At the end of their forty years ot
discipline in tho Arabian desert, tho
ohildron ot Israel marched to Mount
Sinai, wherethrough Moses, God pro
pounded His law. He divided it into
threo parts, as it were:
Tho moral law as a guldo to dally
conduct or personal living.
The ceremonial law as a directory
of worship.
Tho civil law for the government
of the nations.
Today thero Is an effort to substi
tute the civil for tho moral law, to
cdnfuto and confound tho purposes
of tho Almighty Some attempt this
as a means of salving their consci
ences for tho setting asldo and the
slipping from under tho law ot in
dividual j accountability. It seems to
enable them to move aldng lines ot
least resistance by throwing off tho
stern obligations of tho individual
onto tho state, a sort of impersonal
pooling ot personal responsibilities
and thon when the atato falls, as in
tho naturo ot things It must, to meet
tho demands and exigencies ot tho
moral law in tho llfo of the In
dividual, those charged with law en
forcement are blamed for bolng re
creant to official duties.
Cortalnly thero is enough of dellb
erato unfaithfulness in public office,
but now and thon It is difficult to
know whether the blamo for the fail
ure of a law should really rest on
tho man charged with its- enforce
ment or tho peoplo, who through the
legislature, stato or national, that
created it. Whoro thoro has been
Buch a confusion ot tho moral and
civil lawB, tho blamo seems unques
tionably to fall on the peoplo as
a 'wholo and not on the official they
put in the'anomalous position of try'
lng to onforco that kind of a law.
Tho samo principle is to be found
as between tho family and tho stato
Tho old law on which society was
reared laid on tho family certain ob
ligations, which no amount ot legls
latlng or abstruso reasoning can pos
slbly change or remove. Wo may go
on Indefinitely lengthening tho list
ot our public and quasi-public substl
tutcs for tho home and parental au
thority, but wo will never solve any
problomB for either tho family or tho
stato that way. Tho family cannot
perform its function by delegating it
to tho state and tho sooner we got
that firmly fixed in our minds tho
sooner we shall begin to realize hotter
results at undoing much of the mis
chief ensuing from our deliberate
turnlng-away in a transport of fad
dlsm from this original proposition:
The moral law as a guldo to dally
conduct or personal living.
The ceremonial law as a directory
ot worship.
Tho civil law for the government
of tho nations.

An Important Gathering.
The Cbambor of Commerce of the
United States, which holds Its second
annual meeting in Washington next
month, should act as a great clearing
houBo of Ideas for the business world
in this country. It Is essentially
representative in its make-up, com
prising commercial organisations of
all leading and many interior cities
and towns, and, therefore, the domi
nant business brains of the land. It
Is not supposed to exist tor offensive
purposes, but rathor tor the simple
tiurposo of advancing and maintain'
lng business Interests along stable
and legitimate lines; of eliminating
false and inefficient methods and
fostering a better mutual feeling be
tween business, so-called, and tho
rest ot the community.
At this particular meeting the
question of corporate activity tn all
its aspect Is to be threshed out. Com
lug on the heels of the president's an
tl-trust message, it will tend to havo
extraordinary significance. We havo
reached tho period in our national
life when this is a most domlnan
question, for our business today Is
constructed and carried on very
largely in corporate form. Corpora
tlons represent more than 300,000
business concerns, with an aggregate
of more than $61,000,000,000 worth
of stocks and moro than ?34,000,
000,000 worth of bonds and other ob
ligations. They ramify in every di
rcctlon, touching every limb and
branch and twig of tho lite ot the
nation.
So the day for railing against cor
porations as Buch has gone by, W

Itural school patrons, in session
at Lincoln during tho week, found
out for one thing that tho country
schoolma'am is really doing good
work, the proof being that puplte
from the rural schools have no diffi
culty In keeping up when they are
transferred to tho city schools. If
other problems in connection with
the rural schools were as easily dis
posed of tho whole situation would
be entirely satisfactory to all.
Tho casual observer would say the

LINCOLN AND TUB UNIVERSITY
Visitors to De Informed, bat Nat to
Be Importuned.
Lincoln State Journal.
The presence ot considerable numbers
of Nebraskans in Lincoln during the
week of organized agriculture has natur
ally caused somo discussion of the future
location of the university. Visitors havo
taken occasion to look over the farm and
tho city campus and weigh the advan
tages and disadvantages of the two plans
that must be passed upon by the voters
at the November election. So far as the
city of Lincoln is concerned it has as a
whole so little at stake in the mere mat
ter of the selection of the site for the
new university that It can afford to take,
as It generally dpes, an attitude of fair
neutrality- Any Information In the pos
session of Lincoln men or organisation
that will assist the voters In making up
their minds will be given freely to o'J
applicants. But the city Is not disposed
to endorse any noisy offering of advice
which may be put under suspicion as
tainted with self Interest This Is no
time for the blare ot real estate bands
or the development of a partisan spirit
It is a time for the people to make up
their minds through quiet and earnest
study on the course of action that will
give them the best results for the money
they are spending on their university. If
the local community Is guided by wis
dom and genuine public spirit It win see
that the exact facts are made available
to all Inquirers, but that nobody's views
are blatantly and offensively forced upon
the attention of visitors
